Part time lecturing

[FSM with Cheddar]

Has anyone attempted to become a part time visiting lecturer at college or university? I'm considering it as a part time plan B.

What formal teaching qualifications did you need to get?

Did it seem like a good idea, but then turn out to be nightmare?

Sarcastic comments welcome

Those who can't "do", teach.

OU university lecturers get about £10 ph for doing it. They do it for the love of the subject clearly!

Or maybe they bill 8 hours "from home", but only actually spend about 2 hrs rushing through with a red pen?

Wow £10 ph , I never realised I was worth so much. Not sure what I would do with all that spare cash.

To be honest, if it was that low I wouldn't do it, even if I was mainly doing it for the enjoyment.

A Hobby is what you do for enjoyment - and a Hobby might actually cost you (time, effort, money etc).

If its Plan B then its for MONEY..... and "You shouldn't get out of bed for less than [insert your own number]....."

I'm kind of thinking of something in the middle. A partime plan B that I enjoy, doesn't need to pay loads, but could be converted into a more serious career in future if I wanted to.

Fair enough.... Well worth exploring all your options.
If you enjoy it.
If it is (at least might be) a worthwhile investment/punt.
etc etc

But you did ASK for Sarcasm!!!
